Physical Education (P.E)

Curriculum Intent Statement: We develop a lifelong love of sport and physical activity in all children and inspire them to become active and healthy individuals in the future.

At Palm Bay we provide: high-quality physical education that inspires all pupils to feel confident to participate and succeed in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities; opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way that supports their health and fitness; opportunities to compete in sport and other activities while fostering inclusivity and kindness, understanding that ‘sport is for all’.
